Driving and Operating

The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm. Do not
race the engine immediately
after starting it. Allow the oil to
warm up and lubricate all
moving parts.

If the RKE transmitter is not in
the vehicle, if there is
interference, or the RKE
battery is low, the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will
display a message. See

Caution

Cranking the engine for long
periods of time, by returning the
ignition to the START position
immediately after cranking has
ended, can overheat and damage
the cranking motor, and drain the
battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to let the
cranking motor cool down.

2. If the engine does not start

after five to 10 seconds,
especially in very cold weather
(below

18 °C or 0 °F), it could

be flooded with too much
gasoline. Try pushing the
accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and holding it there as
you press ENGINE START/
STOP, for up to a maximum of
15 seconds. Wait at least
15 seconds between each try,
to allow the cranking motor to
cool down. When the engine
starts, let go of the button, and
the accelerator. If the vehicle
starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing. This
clears the extra gasoline from
the engine. Do not race the
engine immediately after
starting it. Operate the engine
and transmission gently until
the oil warms up and lubricates
all moving parts.

Engine Heater

The engine heater, if available, can
help in cold weather conditions at or
below

18 °C (0 °F) for easier

starting and better fuel economy
during engine warm-up. Plug in the
heater at least four hours before
starting the vehicle. An internal
thermostat in the plug end of the
cord will prevent engine heater
operation at temperatures above

18 °C (0 °F).

To Use the Engine Heater

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood and unwrap the

electrical cord. The electrical
cord is located on the
passenger side of the engine
compartment, near the air
cleaner.

Check the heater cord for
damage. If it is damaged, do
not use it. See your dealer for
a replacement. Inspect the
cord for damage yearly.

3. Plug it into a normal, grounded

110-volt AC outlet.
